l
The QlikREST Connector 1.1 enables Qlik Sense to efficiently load data into a Qlik Sense app from a
REST data source. The QlikREST Connector is a generic connector. That is, it is not tailored to a
specific REST data source.
The QlikSalesforce Connector 14.0 enables Qlik Sense to efficiently load data into a Qlik Sense app
from a Salesforce.com data set. Salesforce.com data is available to users with a Salesforce.com
account and current access credentials.
The Qlik database connectors in the ODBC Connectors Package 1.1 enable Qlik Sense to efficiently
load data into a Qlik Sense app from databases accessed through supported ODBC (Open Database
Connectivity) drivers. When using one of the database connectors in the Qlik ODBC Connectors
Package, you do not need to create a DSN connection before connecting to the ODBC database.
Managing table associations in Data manager
The Associations view in Data manager has a new and improved user interface, with bubbles representing
the tables in the data model. You can associate your data more easily according to recommendations.
Single sign-on to SAP HANA
You can now set up SSO connections to SAP HANA.
You set up single sign-on by establishing a trusted connection to SAP HANA, and then setting the
ODBC connection to use the Qlik Sense credentials.
New Qlik DataMarket packages
Qlik DataMarket provides new premium data packages:
l
Historical stock prices from major stock exchanges
l
Financial data from companies worldwide
l
Population indicators for India’s states and districts
l
Population of Canada by provinces or territories
New multiple-table structure for Qlik DataMarket data sets
A multiple-table structure increases the efficiency with which data is loaded, and it can improve the data
associations.
When data is loaded from a Qlik DataMarket data set, it is allocated to multiple individual tables. These
tables are associated by generated key fields. Measures and time periods from the data set are consolidated
in one table that is assigned the name of the data set. Dimension fields are allocated to individual tables.

from.
Enhance your apps with widgets
To enhance the appearance and behavior of your apps, you can now create and use a new type of custom
object, the widget. Libraries of widgets appear in the assets panel alongside visualization extensions.
Widgets are simpler than visualization extensions to build. Typically, widgets are customized KPI objects,
simple chart-style visualizations, tables, and sheet navigation objects.
Time-aware charts
You can now use a continuous scale on the x-axis in a line chart to get a accurate view of time-based data.
Shared content in the Qlik Sense hub
QlikView documents can now be shared from QlikView to the Qlik Sense hub.

Installing and upgrading
Installing
Installation is now optimized for Central and Rim nodes. Individual feature installation is dependent on the
node type selected. Rim nodes can be installed as either Proxy, Engine, Proxy and Engine, or Scheduler
where everything that is needed will be installed.
Modifying
The Rim node type can be switched to another type: Proxy, Engine, or Scheduler. Individual features can no
longer be added or removed.
Uninstalling
Options have been added so you can remove all data and certificates during Qlik Sense uninstallation.
Updating
An update option is now available when Qlik Sense has been previously installed and a service release
(version x.x.x) of the software is available to update the installation. A service release primarily includes
software updates and fixes which are then applied to the existing version. Updates are installed without the
need to remove earlier updates or the baseline program itself.
Uninstalling an update
Updates can also be uninstalled, in which case the updated version will be reverted back to either the
previous service release version or major release version of Qlik Sense, whichever is applicable.
Deploying Qlik Sense sites in cloud computing environments

Working with Qlik Sense
Creating apps and visualizations
Pivot table
You can use pivot tables to dynamically change the presentation of the data and focus on areas of interest.
KPI
You use the KPI to track performance. The KPI shows a main value, and, optionally, a complementary value.
Open apps without data
You can open an app without loading its data. This is useful, for example, when there are large amounts of
data that would take a long time to load.
Sheet thumbnails
You can change the thumbnail for a sheet to make it easier to find in the app overview.
Duplicate sheets from the global menu
Using the global menu in the app overview or the sheet view, you can duplicate a sheet, even if you are
editing or analyzing the sheet.
Edit sheets from shortcut menu
You can start editing a sheet by long-touching/right-clicking the sheet in the app overview or in the sheet
navigator.
Additional sheet details
The details for a sheet include information about when the sheet was published and updated, and by whom.
Date & time fields
You can now use date & time fields in visualizations. These fields are derived fields, which are defined by a
calendar template in the data load script, and generated when the script is run. They appear in the assets
panel.
Using data storytelling
Duplicate a slide
You can now duplicate a slide in a story.
Snapshots of maps
You can now take snapshots of maps.

Empty charts and tables
Explanatory text has been added to both the Operations Monitor and License Monitor chart and table
visualizations when they are empty. The text explains why no data is presented.
Libraries for customizing monitoring apps
Both the Operations Monitor and License Monitor now contain libraries that provide access to the dimensions
and measures used for their visualizations. You can use these dimensions and measures to create additional
visualizations for your particular environment.
The libraries also include additional chart visualizations that can be added to custom sheets.
